Andrea Senesi (aka Sixfort) - Chess Enthusiast & Blitz Warrior

Andrea Senesi, known online as Sixfort, is a chess player who embodies the rollercoaster world of blitz chess — where ratings zigzag like a knight's unpredictable tour!

Rating Journey and Playing Style

Starting with a modest blitz rating around 100 in mid-2023, Andrea’s journey is nothing short of resilient and thrilling, climbing up steadily to a peak blitz rating of 583 by January 2025. Currently holding a solid rating near 430 in blitz, Andrea is the quintessential fighter who balances risk with reward.

With an average game comprising roughly 48 moves to victory and about 57 moves in defeat, patience and persistence clearly underpin their gameplay. The player’s win rate as White is a respectable 51.46%, slightly outperforming their Black pieces games, which sit at 45.10%. Early resignations are quite rare for Andrea, clocking in at just over 3%, proving they never throw in the towel too early — unless of course, their coffee runs out.

Andrea's style features a healthy dose of endgame play, occurring in nearly 56% of games, reflecting their tenacity to grind even when material is scarce. Their tactical awareness shines with a 52.82% comeback rate, meaning even when down a piece, Andrea’s fighting spirit often turns the tides.

Favorite Openings

Andrea favors the Bishop’s Opening with a win rate north of 51%, and takes special pride in the Bishop’s Opening Berlin Defense, boasting a strong 56.8% win record. On the less romantic side of chess theory, the Scandinavian Defense – Mieses Kotrc Variation is a go-to gambit, notching up over 500 games.

Competitive Highlights

Among thousands of blitz battles, Andrea has recorded over 4,370 wins, balanced by nearly as many losses and a sprinkle of draws — truly a warrior’s ledger. Their longest winning streak is a remarkable 16 games, a feat that surely kept the chess gods smiling. Conversely, the longest losing streak was 11 games, which even the best experience (and probably came with some hearty self-reflecting jokes).

Psychological Quirks and Timing

Known to perform their best during the quiet, early hours around 3:00 AM, Andrea exhibits a tilt factor of 11 — meaning if the chessboard were a rollercoaster, Sixfort would be hanging on tight with a grin (or shouting at the screen, who knows!). Interestingly, their win rates peak on Sundays and Fridays, when maybe magic or just weekend leisure boosts focus.

Most Recent Memorable Battle

Andrea’s latest victorious escapade was a blitz win on June 5, 2025, against konaibea, where Sixfort deftly navigated the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation and won on time after a tense 49-move duel. Checkmate fans—Andrea sometimes wins with gas left in the clock and a sly smile from the keyboard.

In Their Own Words (imagined)

“Chess is like a box of chocolates — occasionally you take a risky move and hope it’s a sweet one, but sometimes, you just lose to a Queen’s gambit you didn’t see coming. Either way, it’s about having fun and making your opponents think, ‘Did they just blunder or was that genius?’ Spoiler: it’s usually genius… sometimes.”
